Masterworks Chorale

Upcoming Choral Concerts

Masterworks Chorale is an ensemble of 130 singers at Shepherd University, under the direction of Dr. Erik Reid Jones. The choir sings with full orchestra every semester, with one performance at the Frank Center for Performing Arts and one at St. James Catholic Church in Charles Town, WV.

This ensemble is an outstanding "town-and-gown" choir, made up of students and community members, and performing mostly large-scale pieces with full orchestra. Everyone are expected to have their notes learned and their music well-prepared in advance of every rehearsal.

Auditions take place at the beginning of every semester, during the first week of classes. Email Dr. Jones if you are interested in auditioning. The ensemble rehearses Mondays from 7:30 - 9:30.
